Profession(s)

Presentation :

SETP has been established at the heart of the Comblanchien basin in Burgundy for over 50 years, developing true expertise in operating quarries and manufacturing natural stone products.

TP has been in business since 1963, and operates one of the municipal quarries at Comblanchien. The company grew rapidly in 1995, when it branched into the manufacture of stone products for urban development.

Having built a plant in 1997, acquired stone-working equipment, and undergone a series of expansions, SETP now has a production capacity capable of supplying large-scale construction sites such as tramways and redevelopment projects in major towns and cities.

In 2002, the company diversified into producing STONEBOX® gabions, which are prefilled in the quarry, enabling it to recycle a large proportion of the quarry waste and extend its product range.

The distinctive geology of our region enables us to obtain a solid rock of excellent quality, that can be seen in many structures and historic buildings

The Comblanchien site lies at the heart of the basin in which Burgundy stone is extracted, and offers advantages unique in France:

a limestone whose technical properties make it suitable for use in ground surfacing for exterior projects, or for filling STONEBOX® gabions.

an extraction capacity that enables us to supply large-scale projects in urban development and surfacing, and in the retaining structures and soundproof walls sector with STONEBOX® gabions.

Discover the different professions of the stone industry. Thanks to modern equipment things have evolved for these trades, once classed as «hard labour». Today, workers and artisans benefit from improved labour conditions. However stone is a demanding material. For proper treatment it requires competence and know-how, both of which are slowly disappearing. It is imperative that we train future generations to carry on the excellent work of our forefathers: stone cutters, sculptors, processors, quarrymen, layers or roofers….
